There's this thing in the fandom that when you watch a BTS concert live, no matter who is your bias, you will leave the concert bias wrecked by Hobi just because of his insane stage presence. He's literally born to be a performer and to command the stage.
Whoever arranged BTS’s live music deserves a raise, there are songs that i haven’t liked in the past but the minute I hear them live, something changes and I end up having a greater appreciation for it. One situation like that would be the Armypedia set list.
I would also say some songs are truly built for live to actual have them be as intended. Live also gives songs a different breath that studio versions cannot capture. Imagine trying to capture chaos in a studio you can’t but you can view controlled chaos when you watch a live performance.
Hobi raps like he dances. He rides it. And he came in so strong to hype it up. The fact he became a rapper...he must have been destined. I ways wonder if it helped that he's an insane dancer and just knows beats with his whole body.
And they did this concert for FREE, it was aired online also for free, and there was a special place in Busan (other than stadium) for armys who didn't fit into arena lol. Busan turned into armyland these days 😅
I adore this performance. J-Hope is my bias and I love showing this to people like “Watch Hobi roll up in here and set the stage on fire.” His set at Lollapalooza is over an hour of this….
I'm not a big mullet fan either but J-Hope still rocked it! His confidence and stage presence is so insane, his outfit, hair is all secondary. Once he stared at the camera and popped his shades up, that was a wrap! He is one of my fav artists, not just Kpop, but overall. And I dabble in all genres and different languages when it comes to music.
hobi's fit for this perfomance might be my favorite he's ever worn on stage, he looks crazy in the best way possible btw, jhope's style is BOLD, he really goes for it, it's fun, quirky and even weird and outrageous sometimes lol, but I absolutely love how daring he is and how he manages to pull of so many different vibes this is a pretty good example, he looks cool af, like the freaking rockstar he is edit: MULLET GANG STAND UP LMAO, PLEASE I LOVE IT
No Mullets, I agree the fit on Hobi is amazing but coming from Australia where only the Bogans where Mullets they just look trashy & dirty & grubby as that is what the people who wear them look like they need a good wash & haircut
A lot of times back up dancers are trainees for the company. They normally will have set dancers in Korea and when they go on tour, they have some of their own dancers but will also incorporate other dancers in the area. Most of their US stuff is done with the dance group The Lab. This includes Jhope video for Chicken Noodle Soup and his Lollapalooza performance as well as their video for ON.
j-hope is a crazy live performer. He has a whole series called Hope on the Street where he freestyles. Also, dancers make money performing, teaching and Choreography generally. People usually only think about performing but there are lots of options beyond that as well.
dude , jhope is a dancer .. by the time they performed ugh and cypher 3 they already performed mic drop , run , run1, save me and few more with hectic choreo for a few of it .. i would not be surprised if they were tired bu this performance but they still brought their A game . u don’t get to see such performances. they sound good live .
I watched the bts musical at the cinema a few days ago... and when i tell you everyone in the theater screamed when hobi came on screen with his verse. he is so cool 😭🔥
I was at Hobipalooza! Can't wait until you get to that reaction!!! My husband never really cared about BTS, but then he saw Hobi at Lolla and he's been a fan ever since. JHope is the most amazing performer!
I was at the yet to come cinema event, and there you have a big screen, loud music and follow fans besides you, so it's a different feeling. And I think being at a concert, the mood must be phenomenal. Even if you see them only as dots on the stage or only on the screen surrounding the stage 😄💜
You're not wrong about live concerts. It was absolutely incredible! And to give you an idea, they were like ants to us lol. SoFi stadium Dec 1 2021, we were in the 2nd to last row way over to the left. Didn't matter 1 bit! It was wild. The screens allowed us to see , and by zooming on my phone I could see them well. The other amazing thing, when you hear 60k+ fans singing with them/fanchants/the "whoa ohh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh oh " of spring day?! Magical! I hope you and all ARMYs get the chance to see them live. I'm 50, it was on my bucket list to see them live since I found them 4.5 years ago, and I can honestly say, it was 1 of the best overall experiences of my life & absolutely the best concert experience I ever had. 💜
1. They have dancing crew in Korea, but not always work with them in the USA. I think they work with The Lab dance crew there. It is actually common to have trainees for a backup dancers. For example, in their predebut days Suga (he b-boyed at that time), J-Hope, JK and Jimin were backup dancers for GLAM performances (BigHit's girlgroup that were before BTS and was disbanded after a huge scandal around 2014 if I am not mistaken). Suga then was hit by a car, got seriously injured and stopped b-boying. 2. BTS members rocked mullets for a few years now and Hobi's mullet in Busan was one of the best things that happened with their hair (along with Yoongi's long hair and JK's manbun). I swear, Hobi in Busan stole everyones hearts. As a metalhead I am really vibing with his style last year. 3. Yoongi's sweatshirt was really cool too. It matches with his personality very well. He has that exact type of dry savage humor and sarcasm to wear something like that. 5. Vocal line did two songs before rap line and while rap line performed they rested a little and changed clothes. 4. They did Cypher 3 right after that one. Worth checking. RM slayed.
I never heard anyone say a BTS concert is boring. No one gives 300% like them, they put on the best shows. I’m not sure what you’re expecting on Suga’s part. Them having big shows are not boring, there are big screens that show them up close to the audience. Going to a concert is such a good time, the energy, electricity of being present. I love live shows, and I’ve been to many of different artists in big and tiny venues.
Yeah exacly! But here is also the thing: EVERYONE was expecting crazy dance moves for Jack in the box. But then More and Arson music videos came out and everyone was shocked because there is no dancing. And the opposite is true. There is a Suga solo song (no spoilers) where no one was expecting him to dance. But then a concert happened where he performed it live for the first time and the SCREAMS that happened when he started dancing. Everyone was SHOOK. His fancam of that dance was the first kpop dancing clip that ever went viral and got millions of views on Twitter. And is the reason kpop stan started posting dancing fancams everywhere in the comments hoping for it to go viral at that time.
Jhope's fashion is always gonna be way out there and he don't give a damn. I love it! Dwl stiff rapper moves verses Jhope's dance rap moves, dwl I never thought of it that way but you're right. If you watched the entire concert in one go, that short drop in energy wouldn't seem weird or boring plus the vocal line had just finished a ballad so the build back up was well paced. IMO but love your honesty of course, love the reaction.
you gotta see the Cypher 3 they performed after this. it was legendary. j-hope even changed the lyrics in his verse it was crazy. they said it’s the last time they gonna perform that cypher 😭😭 please check it out!! at this same concert
Yes most of their dancers have been with them for years. It’s one of the reasons their concerts and award show performances are so well done, even during their solo performances.
Thx for watching this Live performance of UGH! by our BTS! Fun fact: This Live performance concert was the last one they did as OT7 (all seven members) before SeokJin went into the military last year. BTS wanted to, and it was held for ARMY, FREE of charge in Busan, hometown of Jimin and Jungkook 🥰💜 We will see our precious Bangtan all together again in 2025 #ApoBANGpo
2:34 no as far as i know, they probably have one for a bigger tour and they probably work with same dance agencies and stuff so there might be familiar faces, at this point i would not be surprised if company had some permanent backup dancers but yeah this is not something we know for sure, like in us they sometimes get backup dancers from one specific agency, the us one is called the lab
2:04 even BTS members were once background dancers on their trainers years! Some of the BTS background dancers are now idols themselves! (Don't ask me for what groups because my knowledge stops with this easy trivia😂🤦♀️😅)
I was sooooo mad when the livestream started lagging as soon as this song started😭 but that concert was sooo much fun, even if it was in the middle of the night for me Also "there is my stiff rapper body" made me laugh sooo much
Jhope is a dancer... dancers always got that insane energy and stage presence. Jhopes first appearance was in a collab with Jo kwon in a song called animals in 2011... he was literally unknown but he came on that stage and ATE that 20 second performace in 2011 standing on stage with a well known singer. At that point he had written a 'count on finger' number of songs. 😭 BUT HIS PRESENCE IS THE SAME as in 2011. Literally had that stage presence since he was born. dancers are crazy on stage. So it's incredible that he can do both... I mean didn't hiphop start with a lot of dancing after all. 😭
They have different backup dancers but while in the US, they usually team up with Sienna Lalau and The Lab, based on LA. She started choreography with them around age 17 (I think) and she can be seen dancing in “On”. The Lab dancers are also prominent in J-Hope’s “Chicken Noodle Soup” remake, among others. ua-cam.com/video/i23NEQEFpgQ/v-deo.html
I think they do also have a core team of dancers from SK. I've seen tour/performance photos with a few faces that pop up repeatedly over the years, but I think this core team is quite small - less than 10 perhaps? (Caveat: I don't follow news of the dancers closely, so if anyone has more info, please add/amend! I think someone else in the comments also mentioned something along these lines.)
Hybe & Big Hit have backup dancers as Hobi during early trainee days was one before he was selected for BYS, even one of the TXT members was one as you can see him behind JK in the Rainism performance, long time before TXT was put together
So glad you reacted to this live performance. It’s so 🔥 And JHope being his so explosive performer self. He just commands a stage, he was born for the stage, sing or rap or dance, he is just attention grabbing.
The dancers at home can change from tour to tour and job to job. MV dancers might be different from a touring troupe. A lot of idols do backup gigs pre-debut. All of BTS except RM did some backup jobs while trainees. I think the most famous of former BTS backup dancers is Lee Know from Stray Kids. In the US they tour with Sienna Lalau and The Lab. J-hope hired a local Chicago team for Lolla, but Sienna was also there as a guest. And I think they have a South America team and a Europe team for those tour legs as well. As far as BTS stages go, this one was unusual. They always have a runway to a smaller secondary stage in the middle of the field, and the rapline performs there for a more intimate feel. So this was probably awkward for them too. I can't remember exactly but I think (in a live maybe?) they said they were disappointed because the setup did not allow them to get closer to the crowd.
OK , I just went back and watched the post-concert live. J-hope said they didn't have the secondary stage because the field audience wasn't seated. That's also why the barricades were so far away from the stage. BTS don't do General Admission or dance pits. A few tours back, they stopped offering it because they were beginning to have crowd surge issues. Seats allow the audience to be closer while keeping everyone safe from getting crushed. That's probably why they didn't use a thrust stage.
I know I’m late, but I just now saw this!!! I WAS THERE!! We had so much fun! I was on the floor in the front section and in the back of my section! Everyone likes to push forward so I had all the room in the back! It was me, a Japanese girl and an older Korean lady; I’m 49! They were all reserved, but I was getting it…milly rocking and everything! Then the Japanese girl got up and started dancing with me and then the Korean lady jumped up and joined - we had a FRKN BALL!💜 I’ve been to all 4 LA PTD concerts and 2 LV PTD concerts and the Busan and it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced!! All my ARMY friends I hang with are my age and we ball out at every concert!! I can’t wait for 2025!!! 💜
I mentioned this in response to another comment but I'ma put it here too. I saw them at SoFi stadium in LA in 2021. Our seats were in the 2nd to last row off to the left, they looked like ants unless I watched on the big screens or by zooming thru my phone. It was still the best concert experience I've ever had, and I've been to a lot. (I'm 50) it was magical to hear 70k ARMYs singing with them/fanchants/singing the "whoa oh oh's" of spring day . I hope all ARMYs get the chance to see them live someday, because really the feelings and experience can't be adequately described! 💜
your comment about their clothes is funny, we have a meme when BTS did an interview and no one, absolutely no one dressed the same... they love to show how different they all are from each other
BTS do have their own backup dancers and also work sometime with other backup dance group also. In one episode BTS was talking about being concern about their backup dancers doing covid-19, when they wasn't able to perform so they wanted to make sure they were still getting paid through the pandemic because they had families and bills to as well. BTS said if they had to pay them out of their pocket they would to make sure they're ok and nothing runs behind.
I just love that the last concert before their break is a free one and it doesn’t show in the performance. They prepared and performed in the same way they would for a paid one! And that alone tells me their dedication and love for what they do. I think they had mentioned previously on several occasions specially Jin that they would love to arrange for a free concert so that anyone can join and I am so glad that they were able to do that. And even though not all fans could attend because of geographical distance, they made sure that anyone anywhere can at least see the show for free by broadcasting the show live for free. I don’t know anyone at least in the modern times with BTS level of popularity to do this.
Funny enough, I love them on whith mullets. I just watch the whole concert at the cinema and boy they did an extraordinary job. The shooting was perfect!!!!! We felt like in the concert, then all the ARMY bombs were lit like the concert so it was so much fun.
About dancers in BTS concerts. Yes, they have core dancers that were trained with them in Big Hit. Some of these dancers move on and debut as artists later on on their career. Son Sungdeuk was BTS' chief choreographer who trained them and designed most of their choreos since pre-debut days, he is also their stage manager, and now he is Big Hit Entertainment’s performance director. Sienna Lalau and her dance crew The Lab based in LA is always on stage with BTS when they perform in the US (PTD LA and Las Vegas concerts, Grammy Awards, with Hobi at Lollapalooza and New Year's Rockin' Eve, etc). Sienna Lalau choreographed BTS songs "ON" and "Run BTS". You can see her and The Lab in the music video "Chicken Noodle Soup" and "ON Kinetic Manifesto". BTS sometimes inquiries famous choreographers to work on specific songs.
4:22 that's only the crowd standing :D + this concert was FREE (with a raffle ticketing but still) This is the concert currently on cinemas all over the world ^^
I think they have a core dancers team at BigHit, but they sometimes add dancers from outside the company for bigger stage performance. When they tour in foreign countries, they usually adds local dancers team besides the Korean dancers team.
This video was mixed together with fan videos to avoid it getting blocked. Hence the strange camera angles at some points. It does to a certain extent effects the viewing experience. The actual concert footage for this performance was so GOOD.
The Yet to Come concert in Busan was a free concert. That’s right, the tickets were free, chosen by a lottery system and they cut it off at 100,000 people. 🤯
@@Jurnalist_ except that now, they’ve turned the concert, plus all the behind the scenes stuff into a feature film which is currently showing in Cinemas world wide and which millions of movie goers all across the globe are buying tickets to. So there was actually a method to their madness.
Hobi never misses when it comes to live performances and that’s why he had the right to be a headliner for Lollapalooza and kept the audience so engaged the whole time but even before then during bangtan concerts you always leave as Hobi bias/wrecker he is a born performer!
Just like actors have casting calls, dancers too have casting calls and audition for gigs. If they’re not on set for a commercial, music video, performance, tour, etc they can be creating choreography, teaching choreography, teach in dance schools or maybe for dance teams. For dance competitions, parents spend thousands. And any “overtime” hours of practice needed for competition, the teacher/choreographer is being paid around $90/hour. Like any career in the arts, it is hard work and potentially living that broke artist life for a while until you get a big break. There are a couple choreographers for some BTS routines that were only like 19/20 at the time they were hired for that gig. It can be done.
Fun fact: SUGA is currently taking hip hop classes, because he wants to be able to dance more naturally ("like Bruno Mars" he said) - I think it's that he wants it to be more second nature rather than something he's rehearsed.
In regards to your comments that the performers cannot be seen by the crowd in the back-- they always have their performances projected onto big screens at the venue
By the way, Busan was a free concert. The government nagged them to do it because it was part of Korea’s efforts to win the hosting of the World Expo in a few years. Then they stuck BTS with the whole bill. But - they thought they had a lock on BTS and owned their asses because they offered them the military deferment so they could continue working, so basically they were beholden. However, BTS did the concert for the fans. And they deadass did Cypher pt 3 at this concert, to all the assembled high muckity-mucks and officials, where the chorus is “Frankly I don’t care, you can’t control my shit” And then immediately after the concert BTS announced they were declining remaining deferments and going into the military right away one by one. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree mullets are a hard pass... EXCEPT FOR J-HOPE!!! Like I'm sorry but imma have to disagree with you on that! 🤣🤣It fits him and his stage persona soooo well!! And yes he aint Bangtan's dance leader and co-performance director for no reason🔥
Yes, they have their own dancers, but they also have dancers in the US they have as dancers as well. Sienna LaLau(Choreographer) and The Lab from Los Angeles, are their go to in the USA. They have good relationships with their dance teams. J-Hope had Sienna Lalau and The Lab there with him as his back up dancers at Lollapalooza. And they are awesome. He has also put out dance practice videos of some of his songs from the show. He did more dance in the second half of the show. The first half was a bit darker and heavier than the second half. J-Hope is dance. He signed with Big Hit as a dancer, and his rap style is "surfin' on the beat", his dancing has helped him in coming up with his own rap style. I love J-Hope's rap skills and his message in his music. I also love his solo work. I know that he picked his fashion style, but I love it, and so does most of the fandom. Also keep in mind that this may have been an outfit from a high fashion designer that made it for him. BTS have been brand ambassadors for different designers, and companies, like PUMA, FILA, and Louis Vuitton. I get that you don't like it, but I think Hobi rocks the mullet look. I do think you are really going to enjoy Lollapalooza. The channel "Enjoy BTS More" has the subtitled version, and she broke it up into 2 parts. He headlined the show on Sunday, and he was informed on short notice because Doja Cat had to cancel. I think he had a month to prepare. Don't quote me on that. Sunday night sold out for the first time before any other night, and there were about 100,000 people there, and over 20 million streamed Sunday online through Weverse and HULU.
FYI: In Rehearsals the scene where Hobi & Joon are suppose to pretend fight Joon kept screwing it up and Dance Leader Hobi was not impressed with him and telling him off
They have a core of dancers some of which are hoping to be trainees but most of which are dedicated. Famously the dance leader for Stray Kids Lee Know started out as a BTS backup dancer (a fact yea really embarrassed by). Early before their debut while training BTS was back up dancers for other groups. When in the US they use The Lab as their team and work closely with them. Jhope is the dance leader/king though.
Jhope is Mr.Swag! Can't sleep on JHopes rap but he just brings that extra spice to the rap performances and of course he is a main dancer of the group. P.S: I don't think this is the best rap performance in my opinion, the cypher medley live is great and Tear is one of my favorites
hmm backup dancers.... are the ones that company hires as dancers, like some are there for years ale you see the same faces now and way back, but some leave like for example to become idols (also Hobi was backup dancer before BTS, also when BTS started some members worked as backup dancers for another artist from time to time bc the needed money- mostly Hobi, Jimin, Suga, and I know Suga may be shooking but he always had rythme and he learned fast steps), also do different things, dance with different bands, there are outside dance crew, and also depends what they do, like when they had world tour then yes their dance crew traveled with them so like almost 30 people, when they were traveling short term then they take local group, like The Lab in cali.
Just went to see the whole concert at the movies yesterday and it was FIRE. Unfortunately they didn’t mix the audio that well so a lot of the beautiful guitar parts were lost😫 but it was so much fun to see the whole set. This is probably the best performance of UGH in my opinion🔥🔥
It's Jhope's birth month Please react to j-hope 'chicken noodle soup (feat. becky g)' mv + live in lollapalooza Jhope arson mv + live in lollapalooza Jhope more mv+ live in lollapalooza Jhope live at Lollapalooza J-hope more +arson + future MAMA 2022 J-hope jack in the box he’s the first solo album bts j-hope best dance & stage presence j-hope isn't a dance leader of bts for no reason Jhope keeps bts stable and balanced J-hope dancing/freestyle compilation
Yeah I'm def not feeling mullets AT ALL (I spent tons of time in rural areas in the Dakotas and hockey culture there so I've been surrounded by mullets for a good chunk of my life) but for SOME REASON stylists in SKorea keep putting those ding-dang extensions in idols' hair and I honestly don't know when it will end 🤷♀️
See I was going to ask about the dakotas, but that now must take a firm back seat to my real inquiry. What the hell there’s faux mullets in this world? There using extensions for a shag🤦🏾♂️😭😭😭🤬
@@Jurnalist_ What the he** are they doing/thinking?!? We may never know the answer. But I see a bunch of "heck-no-DO-NOT-bring-that-back-what-are-you-DOING?" fashion looks even here in the U.S. so we're all guilty of something, somewhere (My dad was Air Force, bomber squadron, and since planes are mostly housed/maneuvered in the Midwest, our family bounced back and forth between California, South Dakota, and North Dakota airbases while I was growing up....My dad's call sign was "Hurricane")
Lee know one of the members of stray kids another kpop groupe was a backup dancer for bangtan he even participated at theire tour And yeah i'm pretty sure that some of bts's backup dancers have fans
The audio on this clip doesn't do them justice. You should watch the concert in a theater. The concert is airing in theaters and Sunday is the last day.
I think also you lose some of the feel because they minimize the sound of the fans. I sometimes wish they would let us hear the fans more because it kinda takes away a little bit of the performance when you can’t hear the fans singing along with them. You get to hear them in some parts and the end and it really bring up the vibe a lot.
The whiplash when UGH started, right before this the vocal line was singing us emotional sentimental tunes lol
Makes so much sense why I felt a lull in vibes and how they brought it right back up.
There's this thing in the fandom that when you watch a BTS concert live, no matter who is your bias, you will leave the concert bias wrecked by Hobi just because of his insane stage presence. He's literally born to be a performer and to command the stage.

“Watch Hobi roll up in here and set the stage on fire.”
His set at Lollapalooza is over an hour of this….
5 more songs then hobipalooza.
FYI: BTS concerts live, offline or online will never be boring...from beginning to end.
I'm not a big mullet fan either but J-Hope still rocked it! His confidence and stage presence is so insane, his outfit, hair is all secondary. Once he stared at the camera and popped his shades up, that was a wrap! He is one of my fav artists, not just Kpop, but overall. And I dabble in all genres and different languages when it comes to music.
Rocked it yes. Should he have even done it in the first place. NO.😂💜
@@Jurnalist_ He wore it better in Hobipalooza (not such a clear-cut mullet, but the longish hair)
Yesss, Bring back Lollapalooza J-Hope one of his best looks ever
@@Jurnalist_ This comment is exactly why I appreciate your content. 🤌🏾😂
j-hope is an amazing performer, can't wait for you to watch lollapalooza!
hobi's fit for this perfomance might be my favorite he's ever worn on stage, he looks crazy in the best way possible
btw, jhope's style is BOLD, he really goes for it, it's fun, quirky and even weird and outrageous sometimes lol, but I absolutely love how daring he is and how he manages to pull of so many different vibes
this is a pretty good example, he looks cool af, like the freaking rockstar he is
edit: MULLET GANG STAND UP LMAO, PLEASE I LOVE IT
No Mullet gang sit down and do it now and forever. I rather man had a bowl cut 😭😭😭
Hobi has a very striking style I cannot deny.
@@Jurnalist_ A Bowl Cut???
…… Side eye 👀
No Mullets, I agree the fit on Hobi is amazing but coming from Australia where only the Bogans where Mullets they just look trashy & dirty & grubby as that is what the people who wear them look like they need a good wash & haircut
Idk, the Dior fit from Outro: Tear is pretty legendary as well. His is my favorite of the Dior outfits. 😎👍
Facts, Outro: Tear Performance & Dior Outfit is the period when Hobi started to challenge Joon as my ultimate bias wrecker

dude , jhope is a dancer .. by the time they performed ugh and cypher 3 they already performed mic drop , run , run1, save me and few more with hectic choreo for a few of it .. i would not be surprised if they were tired bu this performance but they still brought their A game . u don’t get to see such performances. they sound good live .

Fan of just Hobi or all of BTS now?
I was at the yet to come cinema event, and there you have a big screen, loud music and follow fans besides you, so it's a different feeling. And I think being at a concert, the mood must be phenomenal. Even if you see them only as dots on the stage or only on the screen surrounding the stage 😄💜

4. They did Cypher 3 right after that one. Worth checking. RM slayed.
I never heard anyone say a BTS concert is boring. No one gives 300% like them, they put on the best shows. I’m not sure what you’re expecting on Suga’s part. Them having big shows are not boring, there are big screens that show them up close to the audience. Going to a concert is such a good time, the energy, electricity of being present. I love live shows, and I’ve been to many of different artists in big and tiny venues.
Someone did on Fandango and obviously that person didn't watch it. It's funny that person couldn't even say what's sucks about it.
Yeah exacly! But here is also the thing: EVERYONE was expecting crazy dance moves for Jack in the box. But then More and Arson music videos came out and everyone was shocked because there is no dancing.
And the opposite is true. There is a Suga solo song (no spoilers) where no one was expecting him to dance. But then a concert happened where he performed it live for the first time and the SCREAMS that happened when he started dancing. Everyone was SHOOK. His fancam of that dance was the first kpop dancing clip that ever went viral and got millions of views on Twitter. And is the reason kpop stan started posting dancing fancams everywhere in the comments hoping for it to go viral at that time.
Jhope's fashion is always gonna be way out there and he don't give a damn. I love it!
Dwl stiff rapper moves verses Jhope's dance rap moves, dwl I never thought of it that way but you're right.
If you watched the entire concert in one go, that short drop in energy wouldn't seem weird or boring plus the vocal line had just finished a ballad so the build back up was well paced. IMO but love your honesty of course, love the reaction.
They are sooo good.. Yeah you are right J hope's stage performance.. He is a dancer too so it's not a surprise at all🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
JHOPE'S PRESENCE STAGE IS INSANE 🔥
you gotta see the Cypher 3 they performed after this. it was legendary. j-hope even changed the lyrics in his verse it was crazy. they said it’s the last time they gonna perform that cypher 😭😭 please check it out!! at this same concert
j-hope's stage presence is something else, i can't wait for you to watch his lollapalooza performance.
Yes most of their dancers have been with them for years. It’s one of the reasons their concerts and award show performances are so well done, even during their solo performances.
Thx for watching this Live performance of UGH! by our BTS!
Fun fact: This Live performance concert was the last one they did as OT7 (all seven members) before SeokJin went into the military last year. BTS wanted to, and it was held for ARMY, FREE of charge in Busan, hometown of Jimin and Jungkook 🥰💜
We will see our precious Bangtan all together again in 2025 #ApoBANGpo
2:34 no as far as i know, they probably have one for a bigger tour and they probably work with same dance agencies and stuff so there might be familiar faces, at this point i would not be surprised if company had some permanent backup dancers but yeah this is not something we know for sure, like in us they sometimes get backup dancers from one specific agency, the us one is called the lab
Hobipolooza is legendary
2:04 even BTS members were once background dancers on their trainers years! Some of the BTS background dancers are now idols themselves! (Don't ask me for what groups because my knowledge stops with this easy trivia😂🤦♀️😅)
I was sooooo mad when the livestream started lagging as soon as this song started😭 but that concert was sooo much fun, even if it was in the middle of the night for me
Also "there is my stiff rapper body" made me laugh sooo much
What is "there is my stiff rapper body" referring to?
@@sc33h3o3 10:22 -10:55
i'm mad i am just now finding your channel but i guess it means i get to binge your videos for a while. love your honesty!
You found me when you could. We have so much more to cover.
Jhope is a dancer... dancers always got that insane energy and stage presence.
Jhopes first appearance was in a collab with Jo kwon in a song called animals in 2011... he was literally unknown but he came on that stage and ATE that 20 second performace in 2011 standing on stage with a well known singer.
At that point he had written a 'count on finger' number of songs.
😭 BUT HIS PRESENCE IS THE SAME as in 2011. Literally had that stage presence since he was born.
dancers are crazy on stage.
So it's incredible that he can do both... I mean didn't hiphop start with a lot of dancing after all.
😭
4:14 ... Yes, the live crowd was 50 thousand people. And the live stream was 50 million people.
Jhope at lollapalooza is great! Jhope's dancing adds so much to his performances.
They have different backup dancers but while in the US, they usually team up with Sienna Lalau and The Lab, based on LA. She started choreography with them around age 17 (I think) and she can be seen dancing in “On”. The Lab dancers are also prominent in J-Hope’s “Chicken Noodle Soup” remake, among others.
ua-cam.com/video/i23NEQEFpgQ/v-deo.html
I think they do also have a core team of dancers from SK. I've seen tour/performance photos with a few faces that pop up repeatedly over the years, but I think this core team is quite small - less than 10 perhaps? (Caveat: I don't follow news of the dancers closely, so if anyone has more info, please add/amend! I think someone else in the comments also mentioned something along these lines.)
ON Kinetic Manifesto not official mv
Hybe & Big Hit have backup dancers as Hobi during early trainee days was one before he was selected for BYS, even one of the TXT members was one as you can see him behind JK in the Rainism performance, long time before TXT was put together
So glad you reacted to this live performance. It’s so 🔥 And JHope being his so explosive performer self. He just commands a stage, he was born for the stage, sing or rap or dance, he is just attention grabbing.
The dancers at home can change from tour to tour and job to job. MV dancers might be different from a touring troupe. A lot of idols do backup gigs pre-debut. All of BTS except RM did some backup jobs while trainees. I think the most famous of former BTS backup dancers is Lee Know from Stray Kids. In the US they tour with Sienna Lalau and The Lab. J-hope hired a local Chicago team for Lolla, but Sienna was also there as a guest. And I think they have a South America team and a Europe team for those tour legs as well.
As far as BTS stages go, this one was unusual. They always have a runway to a smaller secondary stage in the middle of the field, and the rapline performs there for a more intimate feel. So this was probably awkward for them too. I can't remember exactly but I think (in a live maybe?) they said they were disappointed because the setup did not allow them to get closer to the crowd.
OK , I just went back and watched the post-concert live. J-hope said they didn't have the secondary stage because the field audience wasn't seated. That's also why the barricades were so far away from the stage.
BTS don't do General Admission or dance pits. A few tours back, they stopped offering it because they were beginning to have crowd surge issues. Seats allow the audience to be closer while keeping everyone safe from getting crushed. That's probably why they didn't use a thrust stage.
So excited for hobipalooza !!!!!
I know I’m late, but I just now saw this!!! I WAS THERE!! We had so much fun! I was on the floor in the front section and in the back of my section! Everyone likes to push forward so I had all the room in the back! It was me, a Japanese girl and an older Korean lady; I’m 49! They were all reserved, but I was getting it…milly rocking and everything! Then the Japanese girl got up and started dancing with me and then the Korean lady jumped up and joined - we had a FRKN BALL!💜
I’ve been to all 4 LA PTD concerts and 2 LV PTD concerts and the Busan and it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced!! All my ARMY friends I hang with are my age and we ball out at every concert!! I can’t wait for 2025!!! 💜
I mentioned this in response to another comment but I'ma put it here too. I saw them at SoFi stadium in LA in 2021. Our seats were in the 2nd to last row off to the left, they looked like ants unless I watched on the big screens or by zooming thru my phone. It was still the best concert experience I've ever had, and I've been to a lot. (I'm 50) it was magical to hear 70k ARMYs singing with them/fanchants/singing the "whoa oh oh's" of spring day . I hope all ARMYs get the chance to see them live someday, because really the feelings and experience can't be adequately described! 💜
I watched this entire concert in the cinema two days ago. People singing along, ARMY bombs awaving,.... It was freakin awesome!
💜🤩👍💜
your comment about their clothes is funny, we have a meme when BTS did an interview and no one, absolutely no one dressed the same... they love to show how different they all are from each other
BTS do have their own backup dancers and also work sometime with other backup dance group also.
In one episode BTS was talking about being concern about their backup dancers doing covid-19, when they wasn't able to perform so they wanted to make sure they were still getting paid through the pandemic because they had families and bills to as well.
BTS said if they had to pay them out of their pocket they would to make sure they're ok and nothing runs behind.
Yoongi's shirt trolling flat earthers is so funny
I just love that the last concert before their break is a free one and it doesn’t show in the performance. They prepared and performed in the same way they would for a paid one! And that alone tells me their dedication and love for what they do.
I think they had mentioned previously on several occasions specially Jin that they would love to arrange for a free concert so that anyone can join and I am so glad that they were able to do that. And even though not all fans could attend because of geographical distance, they made sure that anyone anywhere can at least see the show for free by broadcasting the show live for free. I don’t know anyone at least in the modern times with BTS level of popularity to do this.
nawww theres a right way and a wrong way to do a mullet, and hes killin it😤 🤣
There’s no right way to do a mullet. It’s bad all the time. But my boy Hobi got so much juice I’ll
allow it. 😂
Jhope lalapolozaaaa💜💜💜💜
It will be done before I go to Berlin.
Funny enough, I love them on whith mullets. I just watch the whole concert at the cinema and boy they did an extraordinary job. The shooting was perfect!!!!! We felt like in the concert, then all the ARMY bombs were lit like the concert so it was so much fun.
Their screens grow with their stages.
ARMYs who experienced BTS' concert say there is no bad seat
About dancers in BTS concerts.
Yes, they have core dancers that were trained with them in Big Hit. Some of these dancers move on and debut as artists later on on their career.
Son Sungdeuk was BTS' chief choreographer who trained them and designed most of their choreos since pre-debut days, he is also their stage manager, and now he is Big Hit Entertainment’s performance director.
Sienna Lalau and her dance crew The Lab based in LA is always on stage with BTS when they perform in the US (PTD LA and Las Vegas concerts, Grammy Awards, with Hobi at Lollapalooza and New Year's Rockin' Eve, etc). Sienna Lalau choreographed BTS songs "ON" and "Run BTS". You can see her and The Lab in the music video "Chicken Noodle Soup" and "ON Kinetic Manifesto".
BTS sometimes inquiries famous choreographers to work on specific songs.
4:22 that's only the crowd standing :D
+ this concert was FREE (with a raffle ticketing but still)
This is the concert currently on cinemas all over the world ^^
Massive.
I think they have a core dancers team at BigHit, but they sometimes add dancers from outside the company for bigger stage performance. When they tour in foreign countries, they usually adds local dancers team besides the Korean dancers team.
This video was mixed together with fan videos to avoid it getting blocked. Hence the strange camera angles at some points. It does to a certain extent effects the viewing experience. The actual concert footage for this performance was so GOOD.
You’ve explained to me why it made it through yt. I didn’t even catch the weird camera angles.
@@Jurnalist_ Which would clue you in to how the original footage is that much better ☺️
@@kashalia I will keep this in mind in the future. The real cat angles are even better.
We are ready for your hobipaloozaa 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hobipalooza!!! so here for it! lets go!!! 💜💜💜💜
Went to the concert film on the 1st. This was so much fun!
The Yet to Come concert in Busan was a free concert. That’s right, the tickets were free, chosen by a lottery system and they cut it off at 100,000 people. 🤯
That’s mad 😮💨😮💨
@@Jurnalist_ except that now, they’ve turned the concert, plus all the behind the scenes stuff into a feature film which is currently showing in Cinemas world wide and which millions of movie goers all across the globe are buying tickets to. So there was actually a method to their madness.
Hobi never misses when it comes to live performances and that’s why he had the right to be a headliner for Lollapalooza and kept the audience so engaged the whole time but even before then during bangtan concerts you always leave as Hobi bias/wrecker he is a born performer!
Just like actors have casting calls, dancers too have casting calls and audition for gigs. If they’re not on set for a commercial, music video, performance, tour, etc they can be creating choreography, teaching choreography, teach in dance schools or maybe for dance teams. For dance competitions, parents spend thousands. And any “overtime” hours of practice needed for competition, the teacher/choreographer is being paid around $90/hour. Like any career in the arts, it is hard work and potentially living that broke artist life for a while until you get a big break. There are a couple choreographers for some BTS routines that were only like 19/20 at the time they were hired for that gig. It can be done.
Fun fact: SUGA is currently taking hip hop classes, because he wants to be able to dance more naturally ("like Bruno Mars" he said) - I think it's that he wants it to be more second nature rather than something he's rehearsed.
Hobi’s Live on stage performance & stage presence is something else, while Jin’s Live vocals are top tier
In regards to your comments that the performers cannot be seen by the crowd in the back-- they always have their performances projected onto big screens at the venue
By the way, Busan was a free concert. The government nagged them to do it because it was part of Korea’s efforts to win the hosting of the World Expo in a few years. Then they stuck BTS with the whole bill.
But - they thought they had a lock on BTS and owned their asses because they offered them the military deferment so they could continue working, so basically they were beholden.
However, BTS did the concert for the fans. And they deadass did Cypher pt 3 at this concert, to all the assembled high muckity-mucks and officials, where the chorus is
“Frankly I don’t care, you can’t control my shit”
And then immediately after the concert BTS announced they were declining remaining deferments and going into the military right away one by one.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m soooo excited for hobipollza!
Coming soon
I agree mullets are a hard pass... EXCEPT FOR J-HOPE!!! Like I'm sorry but imma have to disagree with you on that! 🤣🤣It fits him and his stage persona soooo well!!
And yes he aint Bangtan's dance leader and co-performance director for no reason🔥
I’ll allow it on the grounds he’s sound af. But I’m still cooking him for having it. Violations are violations. 😂😂
Hobie literally rap with his body
Yes, they have their own dancers, but they also have dancers in the US they have as dancers as well. Sienna LaLau(Choreographer) and The Lab from Los Angeles, are their go to in the USA. They have good relationships with their dance teams. J-Hope had Sienna Lalau and The Lab there with him as his back up dancers at Lollapalooza. And they are awesome. He has also put out dance practice videos of some of his songs from the show. He did more dance in the second half of the show. The first half was a bit darker and heavier than the second half.
J-Hope is dance. He signed with Big Hit as a dancer, and his rap style is "surfin' on the beat", his dancing has helped him in coming up with his own rap style. I love J-Hope's rap skills and his message in his music. I also love his solo work. I know that he picked his fashion style, but I love it, and so does most of the fandom. Also keep in mind that this may have been an outfit from a high fashion designer that made it for him. BTS have been brand ambassadors for different designers, and companies, like PUMA, FILA, and Louis Vuitton. I get that you don't like it, but I think Hobi rocks the mullet look. I do think you are really going to enjoy Lollapalooza. The channel "Enjoy BTS More" has the subtitled version, and she broke it up into 2 parts. He headlined the show on Sunday, and he was informed on short notice because Doja Cat had to cancel. I think he had a month to prepare. Don't quote me on that. Sunday night sold out for the first time before any other night, and there were about 100,000 people there, and over 20 million streamed Sunday online through Weverse and HULU.
Hobiii was on FIRE 🔥 💣 💥 🔥
FYI: In Rehearsals the scene where Hobi & Joon are suppose to pretend fight Joon kept screwing it up and Dance Leader Hobi was not impressed with him and telling him off
Can’t wait for your reaction on Hobipalooza!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
AGH I CANT WAIT FOR THE HOBIPALOOZA REACTION
Coming soon.
LMAOOO NOT THE MULLET SLANDER 😭😭 imma take that shit personally
And Hobi didn't even dance on the first half of Hobipalooza... really looking forward to ur reaction to that.. 💜💜
They have a core of dancers some of which are hoping to be trainees but most of which are dedicated. Famously the dance leader for Stray Kids Lee Know started out as a BTS backup dancer (a fact yea really embarrassed by). Early before their debut while training BTS was back up dancers for other groups. When in the US they use The Lab as their team and work closely with them. Jhope is the dance leader/king though.
Nah J-Hope and Jimin are the BEST performers!!!!! But they are the dancers so yeah it makes sense xD
Jhope is Mr.Swag! Can't sleep on JHopes rap but he just brings that extra spice to the rap performances and of course he is a main dancer of the group. P.S: I don't think this is the best rap performance in my opinion, the cypher medley live is great and Tear is one of my favorites
hmm backup dancers.... are the ones that company hires as dancers, like some are there for years ale you see the same faces now and way back, but some leave like for example to become idols (also Hobi was backup dancer before BTS, also when BTS started some members worked as backup dancers for another artist from time to time bc the needed money- mostly Hobi, Jimin, Suga, and I know Suga may be shooking but he always had rythme and he learned fast steps), also do different things, dance with different bands, there are outside dance crew, and also depends what they do, like when they had world tour then yes their dance crew traveled with them so like almost 30 people, when they were traveling short term then they take local group, like The Lab in cali.
Gotta check out RUN BTS from their Busan concert it's so fire I have it as a ring tone 💜
BTS works with different dance groups. They don’t have a fixed in house dance team
My bias is Joon, but I swear... Jhope was the main character
Just went to see the whole concert at the movies yesterday and it was FIRE. Unfortunately they didn’t mix the audio that well so a lot of the beautiful guitar parts were lost😫 but it was so much fun to see the whole set. This is probably the best performance of UGH in my opinion🔥🔥
pls watch the whole rapline medley from Busan,, you watched only a section.
You should check out the Cypher Medley live performance. Enjoy BTS More channel has a good video of that.
The next song they did was Cypher 3 and that was insane!
Appreciate your honesty
Jhopeee Lalapozaaaaaaaaaa please💜💜
You should let loose. Watch the whole thing again without getting distracted then you may 😉 enjoy it
Cyper 3 from busan please
Yes! It’s the next song in the set😁
💜
i have to roast j-hope for his fit, but he pulls it off so well that i'm mad about it. like. how fuckin dare he

Yeah I'm def not feeling mullets AT ALL (I spent tons of time in rural areas in the Dakotas and hockey culture there so I've been surrounded by mullets for a good chunk of my life) but for SOME REASON stylists in SKorea keep putting those ding-dang extensions in idols' hair and I honestly don't know when it will end 🤷♀️
See I was going to ask about the dakotas, but that now must take a firm back seat to my real inquiry.
What the hell there’s faux mullets in this world? There using extensions for a shag🤦🏾♂️😭😭😭🤬
@@Jurnalist_ What the he** are they doing/thinking?!?
We may never know the answer. But I see a bunch of "heck-no-DO-NOT-bring-that-back-what-are-you-DOING?" fashion looks even here in the U.S. so we're all guilty of something, somewhere
(My dad was Air Force, bomber squadron, and since planes are mostly housed/maneuvered in the Midwest, our family bounced back and forth between California, South Dakota, and North Dakota airbases while I was growing up....My dad's call sign was "Hurricane")
Im waiting for mbti part 2 🤭
Lee know one of the members of stray kids another kpop groupe was a backup dancer for bangtan he even participated at theire tour
And yeah i'm pretty sure that some of bts's backup dancers have fans
Yep! Yeonjun from TXT and Lee Know from Stray Kids 💜
The audio on this clip doesn't do them justice. You should watch the concert in a theater. The concert is airing in theaters and Sunday is the last day.
Sadly they are not showing it Scotland. So best I could do is a web vid of that I think.
Hi, can you react to more new jeans? Hype boy, or ditto
Sure no problem. Is hype boy and ditto songs or other artist/groups?
@@Jurnalist_ they are songs ditto has an explanation video too
I think also you lose some of the feel because they minimize the sound of the fans. I sometimes wish they would let us hear the fans more because it kinda takes away a little bit of the performance when you can’t hear the fans singing along with them. You get to hear them in some parts and the end and it really bring up the vibe a lot.
